When I come downstairs to my computer, I am soon joined by Mistletoe.
Usually I pick her up, put her on my left shoulder supported by my left
arm and proceed with email, RPCA, and whatever.

Tonight she came down and announced her presence.  Being the dutiful
slave, I picked her up.  However, since she came from a slightly
different angle, the natural motion put her on my right shoulder.  This
was okay with her for about 5 seconds after which she began to complain
loudly that all was not right in her world.

I put her down on the computer table.  She meowed twice more and
repositioned so as to be pointing at my left shoulder.  Of course I
picked her up and put her in "her place" on my left shoulder.  Then the
purrs commenced and she was happy.

Silly me.  I should have known that it was just *wrong* to pick her up
the wrong way!
